Solar Panels Leicester
The solar panel industry has taken a significant leap forward, especially in recent years, becoming a tempting investment prospect for businesses and homeowners alike. Amid the relentless energy price hikes everyone has seen, we’ve seen an uptick in the popularity for renewable energy amongst businesses and domestic properties, with solar panels being one of the most popular.
Installing solar PV allows you to produce your own renewable energy, saving money on your household bills and helping to cut your carbon footprint. With additional battery storage you can harness that energy to use any time.
Generating your own power through solar PV will give you significant savings on your annual electricity bill, plus the Smart Export Guarantee (subject to acceptance) means you could earn extra cash by selling any unused energy back to the grid.
Worried about the weather? Solar panels still work when it’s cloudy, even though the sunlight isn’t as strong. So whatever the forecast, you can produce renewable energy to power your home for less.

The Benefits of Solar PV
Solar panels generate electricity that can be used to power your home, power appliances, and charge your devices. Solar panel installations grew by 45% between 2019 and 2022 as more homeowners recognised the benefits of solar power. The cost of a solar PV installation has also fallen significantly in recent years which, coupled with a huge rise in the cost of electricity, makes solar PV a more affordable and worthwhile investment. The benefits you could enjoy by switching to solar energy include;
- Lower electricity bills. Sunlight is free, so you won’t have to pay for the power your solar panel system generates.
- Reduced carbon footprint. Solar power is a source of clean energy, which means that switching to solar panels can help reduce your carbon footprint.
- Return on investment. It takes as little as 5 to 8 years to recoup the costs of a typical solar panel installation and the monthly savings on your energy bills will make your everyday costs more manageable.
- Protection against rising prices. With energy prices increasing, generating your own solar power can help you avoid spiralling costs. Plus, under the Smart Export Guarantee scheme, you’ll be paid for any electricity you generate but don’t use.
- Low maintenance costs. Well-installed solar PV panels require very little maintenance and can last well over 25 years.
Battery Storage Specialists
Due to recent advances in battery technology, it is now possible to store the electricity generated by solar panels in a battery. This means that you can store any excess power generated by the solar panels and use this to power your home during the evening and even during the day to reduce grid reliance.
This means that you are using all of the power that you generate. Where there is insufficient solar irradiation during the winter months, batteries can be topped up using off-peak electricity tariffs.

Are Solar Panels Difficult To Maintain?
Solar panel systems generally need minimal maintenance and don’t require an annual service like a boiler. Solar panels don’t generally need cleaning either, as any dust or dirt that builds up will wash away on rainy days.
If your solar PV system isn’t working properly, it’s likely to be a problem with the inverter. East Goscote Electrics can quickly fix any faults to get your solar panel system back up and running, and we are a fully accredited MCS (Microgeneration Certification Scheme) installer, so you know your home is in safe hands.
Are Solar Panels Suitable for My Home?
- A south-facing roof is the optimum orientation for solar panels, but East/West orientations are also suitable.
- The roof should be out of the shade between 10 am and 4 pm to make the most of peak daylight hours.
- Each solar panel generally takes up two square metres, so your roof needs to be big enough to accommodate the panels.
- The roof needs to be in good condition with no damage or missing tiles.
- A pitched roof will get the most sunlight. When installing solar panels on a flat roof, an additional mounting system is needed to ensure the panels sit at the optimum angle.
- You may need planning permission if your property is listed, in a conservation area, or if you are installing solar panels on a flat roof.
